    The Window Farms project presents a unique vertical hydroponic gardening system in which people from all over the world participate in through an online "R&D-I-Y" (Research & Do it Yourself) community. They share problems, solutions, and information on the hydroponic systems. This system is ideal for city apartments, areas with short growing seasons, and those with a general interest for gardening, the environment, nutrition, and DIY culture.

    Check out the this video to learn more about the project and how the system works.

    good insight! I think I am going to use three half gallon plastic orange juice containers and I don't believe the plastic air lift tubes will hurt anything, they do just fine in fish tanks and the plants don't seem to mind. as for the crowing cups i have a bunch of yogurt cups that i have been advised to use.

    Should have pictures up within the next week or two!
